How to turn off seeing reposts on TikTok

If you’re tired of seeing reposted videos on your TikTok feed, you may be wondering: how do you turn off seeing reposts on TikTok? TikTok doesn’t currently provide a universal switch that completely removes every repost from your For You feed. However, there are several ways to reduce the number of reposts you see.

Can You Completely Turn Off Reposts on TikTok?

Not usually.

TikTok may show reposted videos in your For You or Following feeds based on recommendations and activity from people you follow.

There isn’t generally a setting that lets you completely disable all reposted content.

However, you can tell TikTok that you’re not interested in this type of content and adjust your feed preferences.

Method 1: Tap “Not Interested”

This is one of the easiest ways to reduce unwanted reposts.

Step 1: Find a Reposted Video

When a reposted video appears in your feed, look for the repost information or the person who reposted it.

Step 2: Open the Share Menu

Tap the Share button on the right side of the video.

Step 3: Select “Not Interested”

If TikTok provides the option, tap Not interested.

TikTok can use this feedback to adjust the content it recommends to you.

Method 2: Reduce Content From a Specific Person

If you’re mainly seeing reposts from one particular person, you can reduce their content.

Depending on the options available on your account, you may be able to:

Unfollow the person
Mute their posts
Block the account

To Unfollow Someone

Open their TikTok profile.
Tap Following.
Confirm that you want to unfollow them.

This can reduce content associated with that account appearing in your Following feed.

Method 3: Adjust Your Content Preferences

TikTok provides content-preference tools that can help you influence what appears on your For You Page.

To check them:

Go to Profile.
Tap the three-line menu.
Select Settings and privacy.
Tap Content preferences.
Review the available feed and content controls.

Depending on your TikTok version, you may find tools for managing topics or refreshing your recommendations.

Method 4: Refresh Your For You Feed

If your FYP has become filled with reposted content, you can consider refreshing your For You feed.

Go to:

Profile → Menu → Settings and privacy → Content preferences → Refresh your For You feed

Follow the instructions shown by TikTok.

Refreshing your feed gives TikTok a chance to build your recommendations based on your newer interactions.

Important: A feed refresh doesn’t guarantee that reposts will disappear completely.

Method 5: Interact With the Content You Actually Want

TikTok’s recommendations are influenced by how you interact with content.

If you want fewer reposts, try:

Skipping reposts quickly.
Tapping Not interested when available.
Avoiding commenting on unwanted reposts.
Avoiding watching unwanted videos repeatedly.
Spending more time watching content you actually enjoy.
Following creators whose content you want to see.

Over time, these signals can help change your recommendations.

Why Do I Keep Seeing Reposts on TikTok?

TikTok may recommend reposted content because:

Someone You Follow Reposted It

TikTok may show you videos that people you follow have reposted.

You Previously Interacted With Similar Content

Your watch history, likes, comments, and other interactions can influence recommendations.

The Video Matches Your Interests

Even if you don’t follow the person who reposted it, TikTok may recommend the original video because it believes you’ll enjoy it.

The Content Is Popular

Popular videos can appear in recommendations regardless of whether they were reposted.

Can You Hide Reposts From One Person?

TikTok’s controls can vary, and there isn’t always a dedicated hide this person’s reposts setting.

If someone is constantly reposting content you don’t want to see, the most effective options may be to:

Unfollow them.
Mute their posts if the option is available.
Select Not interested on unwanted content.
Block the account if necessary.

Does Blocking Someone Stop Their Reposts From Appearing?

Blocking someone prevents normal interaction between your accounts and should stop their content from appearing to you through that account.

However, the original videos they reposted can still appear independently through TikTok’s recommendations.

Can You Turn Off Reposts in the Following Feed?

There isn’t generally a universal switch to remove all reposts from the Following feed.

If reposts from people you follow are the main problem, you can manage which accounts you follow or use available mute and content-preference options.
